OK, I now see the link at the bottom is high school.. I responded after reading the beginning:

I am puzzled as to why so many umpires allow the wearing of jewelry within amateur sporting events. It seems like travel ball is really bad with the players wanting to wear multiple rope necklaces and some even wearing chains. I myself give a friendly reminder at the plate meeting to remove all jewelry, then during the game if I see any I have it removed immediately

I didn't get "high school" out of "travel ball". I see the confusion now.

Yeah, it took a couple of reads for me, too.

I am still trying to figure it out. He is first talking about travel ball, not NFHS rules. All travel ball I've ever seen was OBR based, and the kids get all blinged out, with no rule preventing it. Travel ball always cracks me up how everybody thinks they are like some elite group of players, coaches, and managers, as if they are on the Junior Professional circuit or something.

Now that's funny - and true. Travel ball now is so diluted its gotten pathetic and that is in area where the level of HS baseball is really really high quality.

Its just a matter of time when its going to start affecting HS more I think because so many kids will have ruined their arms before they reach high school

Thanks
